  • Brush: Wild West Brushworks – Copper Shadow with Timberwolf knot
  • Razor: Ever-Ready Streamline
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles – Reflection
  • Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles – Reflection

I really enjoy the CB premium base, and Reflection has a slightly (and weirdly delicious) acrid note that I can't place, but that I recognise in Armonía, too. Nice evening shave puzzle.

The only CB soap I have in the premium base is Blugère. It's a very easy base to work with for all types of razors.

Blugère is one of the scents I'll want to get at some point. And DFTR

[–] gcgallant 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

DFTR is on the top of my list for CB soaps. It is a perfect fit for my circumstance, and for my scent preferences. I'm sure I'll just blind-buy it. I like the premium soap base and I like all the notes in the scent description.

It sounds like it may be right up your alley (at least in my mental gcgallant model 😅)

I'll also blind but it at some point. Maybe soon if there's a Black Friday sale
